Celtics point guard Rojan Rondo out for the season after tearing anterior cruciate ligament in his knee

Boston Celtics star point guard Rojan Rondo will miss the rest of the season after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in his knee.

The team made the announcement during Sunday's 100-98 double-overtime win over the Miami Heat.

The victory in the nationally televised game snapped a losing streak that had reached six games despite back-to-back triple-doubles by the point guard who had been elected to start for the East in the Feb. 17 All-Star game in Houston.

‘We've just got to rally around each other,’ Paul Pierce said after the game. ‘I feel for him. He was having such a good season. It's disappointing news.’

As Celtics players walked off the court through a tunnel toward their locker room, Rondo, dressed in street clothes, greeted them.
